I will definitely write a post on the problems I had so as others can not experience the same thing.

I just found your site today, and I am very impressed with the community you have going here. I am not a graphic designer, but unfortunately I play one on the web. jk
Anyway, I enjoyed the look into typographics; it is definitly getting to be a lost art in the big commercial world. ie Xerox
I look forward to seeing some of your photography as well.

Sorry if you already mentioned it, but what plugin did you use for the “leaving this box checked with search your website…”

Jacob, Good luck with your site and hosting service. I hope everything gets resolved quickly for you! You will share with us what happened so we can not make the same mistake(s), yes? Wish you didn't have to go through this, but maybe some good will come out of it. David, I remember that post you did on Liz's blog. I really enjoyed it! Education is not only a key to the client understand you, but it will help them trust you, which makes for a better working relationship all around in every area.

Jacob,
Do you have access to your logs?
Check the logs and see is if someone is playing pranks - like sending too many requests to your website.(A sort of Denial of Service attack).
Also try to shutting down all the wordpress plugins you are using. Visit the forums for these plugins and look for any complaints of this sort by any other users. Sometimes theses plugins are poorly programmed and may take up much CPU resources.
CPU is a very valuable resource. It is valuable than the bandwidth. There is a remote chance that somebody might have installed some COU intense file in your website. Check every file in your web folder and look for nything suspicious.
I think your most popular domain name is justcreativedesign.com
If that is the case, try hosting that domain somewhere else for now. Atleast you can keep your readers. If you need hosting, contact me.

David,
Sorry for using your space for this … :)

Originally my main website was jackcass.com (a funny pun of my nick name of Jack and my last name Cass) however I wanted to go for a more professional approach for my blog which I also turned into my portfolio.
All justcreativedesign.com was, was a pointer to my hosting account which was originally bought with the domain name jackcass.com so essestially it is the same thing.
They did this to my account, they say it damages everyone else on the shared hosting server. It has nothing to do with bandwidth though because I had plenty left - it was “index.php requests”, something I don’t know about, nor many people.
I am still awaiting my host providers reply - they are way to slow for my liking.
